WICHITA FALLS - An employee of Sutherlands building supply store has been charged with stealing more than $8,000 from the company.

In late February, Virgie Elane Gibson was charged with theft.

A manager for Sutherlands notified police in December she suspected Gibson had stolen money from her register by making fraudulent merchandise returns and that Gibson had admitted it when confronted. An audit concluded Gibson had taken $8,110 between September and mid-December. Gibson told police she had been committing the thefts for six or seven months.

Her bond was set at $1,000 and she was not in the Wichita County Jail Tuesday.
